Quotes

Sandeep Sharma (Man of the Match) - 'It was a special feeling to get the wickets of Gayle and especially Kohli. We were planning to bowl the away swingers to Gayle in our team meeting which paid off for us. I am enjoying bowling with the new ball and thankful to Bailey for giving me the chances to bowl with the new ball.'

George Bailey - 'It was the usual suspects (Sehwag,Maxwell,Miller) with the bat who did it well for us with some power hitting. The local talents have been outstanding for us which along with the foreign stars firing has made our team the threat it has become. Sandeep was brilliant while debutant Shivam did very well. Everything is working for us and hope it continues."

V Kohli: We didn't play as unit. Punjab had the better team for today. We could have bowled well. And one or 2 decisions didn't go our way. Hopefully we can turn things around. We wanted a better start. There is no room for complacency. Everyone have to pull our socks and deliver now. It can be a blessing disguise for us as we need to win every game now. It is about playing smart cricket out in the middle.
